Regarding nitro; adding more of it to your fuel, in cold weather, *will* make any engine run better; even your run-of-the-mill glow engine.
OK, time for me to ask a question. I read this all the time about how nitro makes an engine start better in cold weather but because I never use nitro or experience what you guys call cold I've no way of knowing. What makes me wonder about the truth of this is that nitro has a flash point of 35C while methanol is 11C so I would have thought that methanol would be easier to ignite because of the heat generated inside the cylinder due to compression when starting the engine. What am I missing?
